Welcome to Passionate Pathways: A Couples Retreat to (Re)Discover Your Soulful Bond!

We invite you to treat yourself and your loved one to an intimate journey of fun, relaxation, exploration and complete (re)coupling!

You will be joined by a small group of other couples for this workshop retreat in the lush, warm & wild Riviera Maya in the Mexican Caribbean.  You and your loved one will be immersed for 5 days alternating from the natural jungle setting of the Hokhmah Retreat Center to our exciting nearby off-site adventures.

Passionate Pathways is not just about discovering the beauty of the Riviera Maya; it’s a holistic experience that includes a traditional Mayan Temazcal Ceremony, immersing you in the rich cultural spirit of the region. The journey continues with the exploration of seven cenotes, offering moments of quiet reflection and shared awe amidst the stunning natural formations.  You’ll have the opportunity to snorkel at the World’s second-largest barrier reef, creating memories that will linger as treasures of your shared history.

Beyond the thrilling activities, the retreat is designed to strengthen the bonds of love and communication between partners. This profound 7-day couples retreat workshop is an investment in your relationship, offering not just a getaway but a transformative experience that will resonate in the tapestry of your shared history!
